Is there a way to stop/block/disable assignment comments from students & parents? I use comments one way (from me) and expect students to see me personally with assignment questions.
@carrie_marusich Unfortunately, there is no way to limit students from making comments on assignments. It looks like there are a couple feature ideas for this that you may want to follow:
The links above no longer seem to work since they migrated to the a new platform. But I agree that the ability to disable comments in assignments (or anywhere in Canvas) needs to be available and not on by default.

Yup, if you hover over those two links from @james_whalley's above response, you'll see in part of the URL that those are coming from the previous Ideas space in the Canvas Community site.

In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
